On Saturday December 11th, 2010 11 students from Spring Lake Elementary took part in Nebo School District Chess tournament at Art City Elementary. Congratulations to Seth Cowie, Ty Petty, Ben Brown, Jack Payne, Hyrum Davis, Daniel Havens, Spence Worthington, Tyler Cowie, Cole Harmon, Brendon Earl, and Travis Pitcher for bringing back the 5th place trophy.

Students participate in singing traditional and festive songs to celebrate the Christmas season at Spring Lake Elementary.

Spring Lake Students enjoyed a circus act with clowns, slapsticks, and puppets as BYU Children’s Theatre told the story of Petruchio, who is trying to win the love of Kate, a bad-tempered and sharped-tonged woman. It was fun as they included students and even faculty to join in telling the story of the Taming of the Shrew.

On Tuesday the 7th Amber Reese the nurse for the school spoke to students about good hygiene and taking care of their bodies. They learned the importance of bathing daily, trimming nails, brushing teeth, and washing hands often in order to stay healthy. You only have one body and you need to take care of it. “I learned that stuff builds up between your toes” said Dakota Miller from Mr. Lai’s class. “You should never share hats or other head things” said Collin Howard also from Mr. Lai’s class.
